Sinful Remission
[Chorus]
The times I was so blind, I needed wisdom
Did a search for my renewed mind, it came up missing
Pour a glass of that new wine, sinful remission
Blood, sweat, and tears, blood, sweat, and tears
And it all dripped
(Like) Christ in the garden of Gethsemane
Let it all drip
I don't want to die, but it's killing me
And it all drips
I don't want to die, but it's killing me
Let it all drip
I don't want to die
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Yeah
In a war with myself, denying all my sin
Went from applauding myself to givin' it all to Him
I'm lost till the conviction begins to settle in
Off godly wisdom, He know if He speak it then I'ma listen
Like Paul, He gon' shake the floor until i'm out of prison
Mashiach, above the law like the politicians
His rule is fiat, my vocation a griot
Cross-referencing holy scriptures with Cheikh anta Diop
Fruit of the Spirit, I'm crushing grapes in these Adidas
Steeped in my faith, I'm safe, I cannot sever ties
Half-dressed brown-skinned women, I gotta deflect my eyes
They push sex, money, and murder on the urban disenfranchised
But God blessed from the south side of the projects
They saw potential for death, so they supplied techs
But what they didn't expect was a divine flex
They thought our time was up, the Father made our time stretch
[Chorus]
The times I was so blind, I needed wisdom
Did a search for my renewed mind, it came up missing
Pour a glass of that new wine, sinful remission
Blood, sweat, and tears, blood, sweat, and tears
And it all dripped
(Like) Christ in the garden of Gethsemane
Let it all drip
I don't want to die, but it's killing me
And it all drips
I don't want to die, but it's killing me
Let it all drip
I don't want to die
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Nah I'm straight, I been doing good
I'm blessed beyond measure
My text, not my tech on my dresser
My need and my blessin' gon' connect under pressure
It feel like hate, but I know it's love when God correct us
I took my idol off my necklace, I was jaded
Satan want me to disavow what is sacred
Before Yah formed creation, it was shapeless
Instead of the trends, I just follow the foundation
My lens got a shallow depth of field
Once I'm focused, the non-essentials get blurred out
I've been cursed out
In the face of obstacles I just press through like turn styles
And I'm not as righteous as many tend to think, as it turns out
I told my wife that she couldn't leave
She said, "Why?" I said, "Because I didn't cheat"
She said, "Oh really, well then, what about pornography?"
I said, "Dang, according to God that is the same thing"
[Chorus]
The times I was so blind, I needed wisdom
Did a search for my renewed mind, it came up missing
Pour a glass of that new wine, sinful remission
Blood, sweat, and tears, blood, sweat, and tears
And it all dripped
(Like) Christ in the garden of Gethsemane
Let it all drip
I don't want to die, but it's killing me
And it all drips
I don't want to die, but it's killing me
Let it all drip
I don't want to die
Yeah
